Tae List Or Te T; ERRV'S. more than all the other papers pablished in Washington. Several million dollars of the District's bonded debt full due this year and next. It is to be remembered that nearly all of the so- called District debt was contracted between 1871 and 1878 by officials appointed by the United States over whom the people of the District had no control in carrying out the scheme of comprehensive improvements, which the United States ought long before that to have perfected at the national expense. In the be- ginning the nation acquired ownersbip.as a free | gift of the streets and avenues of the capital, more than one-half the area of the city. It re- cetved also as a free gift one-balf of the lots re- manining after the streets and reservations had been subtracted, the understanding being that the proceeds of the sale of these lots should be devoted in part at least to opening and improv- ing the street, which work upon its own prop- erty was tobe the duty of the government. ‘But the large sum of money derived from these males was not applied to this purpose. For more than thirty years, during which period $700,000 had been thus realized, the govern- ment’s expenditures upon streets and avenues, which were its exclusive prop- erty, were less than $700 per year, and its annual appropriations since that time ‘until recent period in the city's history have been widely varying im amount and at the best inadequate. It was shown in 1874 that up to date the citizens of Washington had expended ‘upon the capital, in excess of the amount ap- propriated by Congress, about $13,500,000. In 1878 the government, which had in the begin- wing impliedly undertaken to meet all the ex- penses of capital making and then shifted that burden in the main upon private citizens, de-/ cided that justice required it to pay one-half of | the District's expenses. This payment was ad-| voeated by Senator Southard in 1835 and he also urged the reimbursement to the District of | ‘what it hed expended in the past beyond its| Just proportion. Congress has followed only one-balf of Senator Southard’s advice. The imperative. To welcome the coming guest—impert- ant.

This course would largely settle the so-called District debt, | contracted in performing the unfulfilled obli- gations of the nation, and would save for current improvements nearly million dollars anuually which are taken from the current revennes and applied upon this = debt. =A consideration of these facts, if it does move the nation to the fall measare of justice toward the capital, ought at least to hold it unswervingly to the present | comparatively fair and liberal arrangement in | re:pect to current expenses, to protect the Dis- trict against such unjust exactions as the water tunnel and zoological park expenditures, and | to secure the prompt and hearty adoption of measures to meet and dispose of in the wisest | manner the part of the indebtedness which | falls due this year and next. The burden which the District ought not to bear at all should at least be rendered as light as possible. | ‘The civil service commissioners promptly deny the silly story of the Post that they and civil service reform have received a roasting from the President of the United States. The part of the story which represents the Pros- ident as angrily denouncing an attempt to| extend the operations of the civil service | law as an injury to his administration, | provoking ridicule and antagonism, and as violently hostile on political grounds to the | vigorous enforcement and extension of the law, is a more serious reffection upon the President than upon the Commissioners, who | are represented as being subjected to humilia- | tion. The President, in his letter of accept-| ance, not only favored a liberal interpre- | tation and vigorous enforcemert of the existing law, but would —_ approve legislation extending the reform, which, be added, it would be his sincere purpose to ad- vance if lected. The pledges of the platform | apon witch he was elected are well known. | The story of the Pox, is in effect a charge against the President that he is false to these personal and party pledges, and is wildly im- | probable upon its face, so that it was discredited | even before it met with direct contradiction. +2 It takes line upon line and precept upon pre- | cept to arouse Congress to the great necessity | for providing sufficient space for the govern- | ment departmental work. In another colamn im today's Stan the crowded state of things at the patent office is vividly and impressively | set forth. As our correspondent well says, this eondition would be a discredit to any govern- ment under any circumstances, but it is a ten- fold shame when, as in the present instance, the institution that is made to suffer most—the patent bureau—is a paying institution, having a large surplus to its credit and annually yield- ing s large revenue. To provide sufficient and suitable space for the government work will not largely increase the national expenditures, but if it did it is necessary and there should be no grudging spirit displayed in making the ap- Propriations for placing the extensions where they are required. If the Postmaster General ia given the new departm-atal building which ‘he seeks in the vicinity of the new city post office, the relief furnished by turning over the — Post Office Department to the Interior partment would doubtless result in supply- ing adequate accommodation to the patent office. ——_++s ‘The oyster. like the Union, must and shall be preserved.
